This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Working closely with the QA Manager, you will help develop, update and maintain our HACCP system and Preventive Control Plan (PCP).

• Write and update HACCP/PCP programs, SOPs, work instructions, forms and supporting records.
• Maintain hazard analyses, process flows, monitoring procedures and corrective action documentation.
• Support programs covering sanitation, sampling, chilling, supplier approvals, labelling, traceability and recalls.
• Help prepare for CFIA inspections, customer audits, Halal audits and third-party certification audits.
• Review QA data, identify documentation gaps and support investigations and continuous improvement.
• Visit production areas to verify procedures and assist with inspections, monitoring and sampling.
• Support product specifications, product holds, traceability and reporting within our CSB electronic system.
• Prepare training materials and communicate program changes across departments.

• Education in food science, food safety, microbiology, meat science, quality assurance or a related discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• HACCP training and a solid understanding of HACCP principles.
• Experience developing, writing or maintaining food safety programs and SOPs.
• Strong technical writing, editing and document-control skills.
• Knowledge of food manufacturing or meat processing operations.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail and proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple documentation projects and meet deadlines.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills.

Knowledge of CFIA requirements, the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, HACCP-based PCPs, SQF/BRCGS or other GFSI-recognized programs. Experience with meat processing, audit preparation, validation, verification, root cause analysis, traceability and recalls would also be valuable.

This position is primarily office-based, with visits to slaughter, fabrication, packaging, storage and sanitation areas.
